Egg Plant Totally Skill Season 2013-2013 Is Over!!!!

WHAT A FINALE!!!! Many apologies for the delay in getting final results in; this was partly because one of our vidi-printer operators decided to feck off to cover the little watched Azorean League, and partly because of a fixture error that meant the final game, Sligo v Dundalk, only played last night.
But if you are going to drag out the tension, then this was the season to do it. All eyes were on the fight for second and after some very cagy performances over preceding weeks, Penny and Darren realised just how high the stakes were and finally went for broke. Both scored 10 points and Penny must have been sure this was enough to grab second but it was not to be. As it was, Ronan again emulated Manchester United by finishing the season with a whimper not a bang and seemed happy with 3 points. Enough to win the title but the final gap closed to just 4 points in our closest season close ever. That he again won the double by winning the Billy Bragg Cup (albeit it in a truely pathetic manner by all our competitors, it has to be said), makes him the most successful Egg Plant Totally Skiller of all time. Rumours that he is to retire during this close season are premature, however.
So many congratulations to Ronan for his historic double, to Darren for heroically avoiding the wooden spoon, and for Penny for turning up even for those rainy, cold midweek fixtures at Wigan.
All that remains to be played for is the least prestigeous of our Cups, the Contingency Cup 2013. Results to follow this Friday and dates for the season's official awards ceremony to be confirmed.
